Transforming a Phone into a Robot in Blender

"Perhaps I should've been a phone designer." Leaves off 3 keys.

[@Polyfjord]

Take my upvote!

[@Frostyfrog]

Was just going to say, "where's the 0 button?", But you're right! We're missing * and # as well!

[@querela92]

Who uses * or #? And even zeros are used just a tenths of the time. Not like you absolutely require them. Probably. And maybe the 7..9 are reused for those.

[@Frostyfrog]

@@querela92 the 0 is in the phone number of everyone I know because it's in the area code o.o

[@robertk1701]

@@querela92 Both my cell and work number (and home phone when I was younger) have zeroes. Though I'm not going to complain about getting fewer phone calls. Can we get Polyfjord to design the phone systems for the bots and telemarketers? Anyone using an automated system needs * and #. Still, wouldn't be bothered much about losing those either.

[@kritrom]

As someone who quit 3D animation a while ago, this was so nostalgic and comforting to me. I could really feel your enthusiasm. The shortest 30 minutes in my life.

[@Polyfjord]

This amazing comment means more than you know! Thank you!!

[@kritrom]

@@Polyfjord Thank you for the beautiful video! Your channel gives me so much comfort. :)

There's nothing stopping you from downloading Blender, open new scene and you guessed it... delete the default cube!

[@kritrom]

@RealTimeX I don't remember leaving comments like this on other videos, in fact this is the first time I've talked about it. Perhaps it was a different commentator? Either way, I thank you for your comment.

[@Polyfjord]

My apologies for the audio issues in the middle part of this video!! I wanted to delete the entire part with bad audio, but the video just didn't make sense without it. I hope you enjoy the video nevertheless!

[@c016smith52]

Dude, these are always so great and we really appreciate you!

[@吕大-n2u]

COOL！！！！

[@ImOnFish]

Mistakes happen... doesn’t change the overall quality of the video at all

[@spideryt8642]

Ur sins are forgiven, sin no more 😂🤣

[@human_936]

I loved the video just the same.

[@UnFAMiliartoast]

I honestly don't get as inspired from many other videos quite like yours. I love these animations especially from start to finish watching how everything forms. Great job as always!

[@PaulEmsley]

I think it's because we are watching an artist create a work of art and it happens to be done in Blender. Others are Blender technicians explaining us how we could use Blender to make art. (OK, yes there is shades of grey, but it really feels to me that Polyfjord has the most "artistic" mindset).

[@dvohwinkel]

I love your (what I like to call) "creative journey" videos. I also liked how you gave a sense of the real passage of time(you had lunch and dinner) ie many hours where spent on this. Please keep making videos because they are very entertaining and educational at the same time.

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you so much!! Your experience is exactly what I was hoping for. This means a lot!! Much appreciated

[@MrAmbi-rw9hx]

Top 3 modeling types: 1. Get reference 2. DON'T be afraid to drift off of the "Normal" look 3. KEEP TRYING NEW THINGS

[@PIXXO3D]

The transformers phone bot is one of my favourite CGI scenes, I've actually tried making it as a personal project many times, but gave up due to all the details... Here you made something very simple by comparison, but it still has that satisfaction.... Really inspiring, and it reminds me that simplicity is still perfectly good at stimulating nostalgia.... Because of this marvelous video, I'm going to give it a shot once more.

[@carel91]

Even you are not qualified as modeler, i really like your fast workflow. Just real time fast model concept, that is really useful. Sometimes i just edit each edge and vertices for hours, but i need to learn this fast 3d scathing. Great work man, thanks for sharing

[@quentinveillas4847]

That's absolutly mindblowing, I love how you create "Life" in your animations and environments, keep going Polyfjord, you inspire us!

[@daveSoupy]

parenting the phone to the rigid body cube was a stroke of brilliance.

[@alexanderhandjiev2845]

the first modeling shortcut that pops in my head is to select all the buttons that are the same size and when they were rounded in the beginning, should have scaled by individual origins, not the default "bounding box", that way, you don't have to do the same action 9 times, just once. The other thing was on the volume button, adding unnecessary loop cuts to make a sharp edge could have been avoided by selecting the edges, that you want sharp and pressing shift+e to tell the subdiv modifier where to work. Those were my 2 cents on the topic (for now). Keep the good work!

[@nuduw]

This felt very wholesome for me, who primarily does stuff in CAD software. I was chuckling for the entire duration of watching this.

[@TulioG]

Great video... The Best modelling tip is to quick look at some reference pictures. Helps with overall proportions and also forgetting details, like the amount of buttons.

[@Mrisometric]

Use Mirror Modifier / for editing All Buttons at once change "Transform Orientation from Global to Normal" and "Transform Pivot point to from Median to Individual Origin"

[@aviv19286]

I'm a professional blender modeler renderer and basically everything in blender sculpting and everything, and you asked if your doing stuff wrong well some parts BUT!!!! You did amazing trust me i love you're vids man.

[@Polyfjord]

Thanks!!!

[@anasselidli8233]

Thanks for sharing what you love to do. It's always a win win situation for the creator and the learners.

[@1oribe926]

What a delight. As someone said a very quick 30 mins. From a teaching perspective its so good to see someone designing on the fly and not only making mistakes but owning them. Truly great teaching. Many thanks for sharing.

[@Lirrez]

I actually love watching you just make stuff. Even if it’s not 100% a tutorial I just find it so interesting to watch you make things you want to make, and I usually learn a lot from it. And your personality makes these videos so entertaining to watch for long periods of time, and it’s what keeps me watching. Please keep making more videos like this in the future. ❤ From Sweden 🇸🇪

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you so much my friend!! Cheers from Norway!! 🇳🇴

[@haselkern9657]

I love watching this type of video of yours! It's so entertaining to see you get in the zone and to follow your train of thought for a whole project.

[@landgrenwilliam]

Amazing as always! Love the format

[@Polyfjord]

Thanks william!!!

[@carlo_oppermann]

I love these tutorials showing a process from start to finish. Its the perfect blend between basic and advanced techniques and I learn so much along the way + I get a result that keeps me motivated. I pushed through tons of courses on specific topics (e.g. rigging, modellig, animation...) but your videos are more rewarding while teaching just as well!

[@newrockboy1553]

The ring tone in the cinematics gives the phone so much life

[@fnaf351]

since i saw the thumbnail i thought of that movie 😅 It makes sense that you were inspired. Nowhere else have I seen a phone transform like this.

[@Karcaddewow]

This is amazing. The easiness you have on Blender is impressive.

[@7melvil584]

Wonderful once more ! Nothing else to say. Just incredible.

[@svjatbot7041]

Hi polyfjord, I'm from Russia and I'm currently studying at university, thanks for your tutorials. I'm studying blender now and your videos help me a lot, every time I watch them, even though I don't have enough English to understand you completely, I learn something new and it inspires me. I want to learn more about rigging, animation and texturing. Thank you.

[@joachimboussoumah9994]

Oh my god I love it ! The way it "falls" in front of the camera coming from outside the camera frame... perfect 👌🏻

[@elliotmarks06]

I LOVED this project! The whole thing really follows that early 2000s product launch aesthetic.

[@binyaminbass]

I love how you get excited to make something because it’s a new version of blender, and then you don’t use any of the new features of blender. I get it. It’s exciting not because it can do something new for me, but because it is new. I dunno, seems like a kinda definition of love.

[@Polyfjord]

Yes!!! And also it feels so nice to sometimes not read the release notes, and then get surprised when you discover that something awesome has changed!

[@binyaminbass]

@@Polyfjord That's when you know you have a relationship (with a piece of software, albeit) built on exploration and creative expression. It turns out that Blender is a training ground for long-term, committed relationships.

[@Polyfjord]

@@binyaminbass I couldn't agree more!! I think quite a lot of artists get a long-term relationship with a software and start feeling very much at home in it. Which makes it so much more scary that most software is developed with the purpose of exploiting that relationship. I really appreciate that my relationship with Blender and the Blender Foundation will always be without an agenda, and that I never have to worry about if they will start taking advantage of my affection for their software.

So cute and satisfying. Rigging still scares me, despite completing most of your rigging tutorials. I'm much more comfortable with modeling, but stuff like this inspires me to keep expanding my skillset.

[@Polyfjord]

Thanks for watching!!

[@YahyaTarique]

This is damn good. The fact that Transformers team might've taken like a week to make that into a render, and you probably blew them away as well. But they were working with the technicalities of a real phone in mind. Great vid, man! You inspire so much of us.

It is somehow so entertaining and interesting to watch: the way you talk, the way you work and react to what you are doing, and, especially, your passion about what you do - it is just beautiful. Thank you! These 30 minutes have flown unnoticed. So much inspiration. Hello from Ukraine!

[@bolodyapinas3061]

Thank you! Thanks to you, I am constantly learning about the chips in Blender, which greatly speed up modeling. I learn so many new things when I watch you. With love from Russia

[@lefteris696]

Your tutorial ideas are becoming one by one more awsome! The spider was hands down the best tutorial out there... and now this!

[@Spuds1411]

heres a little modelling tip for you, instead of adding reinforcement loop cuts when you want to make the subdivided edge more aggressive. you can use the edge crease in your right click menu, you can increase it and it will make the edges of a subdivision more aggressive, its better than adding reinforcement loops because its non-destructive and you can target specific edges much easier.

[@Scribun1]

A return to the past without a battery! Wonderful !

[@zillaquazar]

You are just the most fun to watch you exude excitement about your projects and I feel it. Also I never thought of parenting a complex model to a simple one for rigid body sims I must be stupid.

Hello Polyfjord! I’ve been following you for some time now, and got to tell that I really love the videos. I’ve just started learning Blender, and your videos are helping me understanding concepts that I could use in the future. As a suggestion, I think you should create beginner tutorials for people like me, you could even do them on livestream so that viewers could ask you some questions as well! For those who missed the stream, you could then upload the stream to your KZbin channel. I think it would be great for the Blender community and for those who are willing to learn more. Keep up the great work!

[@alexhydron]

yoo the sound design when the phone falls is amazing! Tutorial??

I didn't want to skip a second haha, awesome work man!!! For the animation, which looks awesome already, i would have added a little shake to the phone before it opens. That not only makes the robot even more alive but it also works as an anticipation
